As the digital world continues to grow, so do the threats within it. Cybercrime is no longer just an online inconvenience—it’s a serious issue affecting real lives, families, and communities. In recognition of Cyber Awareness Month this October, The Cyber Helpline is launching a crucial campaign to raise £50,000 to expand and enhance our vital services for victims of online harm.

A ransomware attack is underway. The threat actor has gained initial access to an endpoint and executed malicious code on it. As far as the threat actor is concerned, things are going well. However, the next stage is critical to a ransomware attack’s success. Without the ability to spread throughout the entire environment, encrypting or locking up all systems, threat actors are unlikely to be able to extort payment from an organization.

As organizations push the boundaries of innovation, the need to embed security into every layer of the development process has never been more pressing. DevSecOps—a practice that integrates security directly into the DevOps pipeline—has emerged as a critical approach to staying ahead of potential threats. Yet, the challenge is knowing how to weave security seamlessly into these complex, fast-moving environments.

As businesses continue to embrace cloud services for scalability and cost efficiency, cybersecurity is following a similar trend. To stay ahead of evolving threats, companies are increasingly adopting Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) as a comprehensive solution. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies, Managed Service Providers (MSPs) deliver Identity Security to help businesses achieve key objectives.
